And monkeys might fly out my butt.
Better out than in, I always say.
What’s this “may” shit
Because there is no rule of law in America anymore.
I mean, there could be. The government of Illinois could make it happen, they definitely outnumber ICE right now.
Authorized representatives of the state using force to arrest members of ICE for violating specific court orders and committing acts that literally everyone can see are crimes, doesn’t escalate to ICE randomly retaliating against every protestors as they’ve been itching to do (which is what happens if protestors start using force against ICE). Authorized representatives with a clear mandate from the people of the state, and the law, is a whole different narrative ballgame than trying to defend ourselves forcibly.
I legitimately don’t understand what the holdup is about arresting them (other than not being sure their exact identities, but that can be addressed for future incidents with some advance planning). I mean that seriously. It doesn’t make sense in all states or situations, but in Chicago, I actually think it does.
Federal Agents May Face Charges…
raising serious constitutional and legal concerns
It’s yet another example of Russell Vought’s “post constitutional” fetish.
Even if they did (lol), Trump would just pardon them.
I don’t know at what point most Americans will realize there’s no democracy anymore. Maybe once the next elections are rigged? Probably not.
Wouldn’t they be charged by the state? In that case Trump can’t do shit.
Unsure since they’re federal agents, but either way moot since Trump “can’t” do a lot of things he has and continues to do.
The TikTok thing is one recent example.
Like illegally firing furloughed federal workers en masse.
They won’t. They’re still talking like it’s business as usual for voting. And even if some of them figure it out, they’re very unwilling to do anything that would inconvenience their lives such as a mass strike.
Most of white America is just mildly perturbed that their comedians are getting taken off the air and their healthcare might get worse. Beyond that they’re cool with the fascism part.
That being said, I hope and wish they’d prove me dead wrong.
